Executive Summary
This report details the HCC Player Reviews for Season 21/22. There
were 22 overall respondents, with 21 indicating they will play next
year. This report contains: a summary of the current season, the
seasonal trends, and all anonymised text responses for the current
season. Overall, there appears to be a general upward trend in all
metrics except for ratings of individual performance.
This report is not optimised for mobile viewing, but you’ll deal with
it. If you accidentally change any plot windows when navigating/zooming
on the page, you can reset the plot window by hitting the “autoscale”
button towards the top right of each plot (looks like an X but with
arrow heads).
Click on certain plot elements to interrogate the data further, or
turn on/off groupings through the plot legends if you want to isolate
certain groupings (note this will likely shag some of the grouping
alignments as I haven’t yet allowed for this to be dealt with
nicely).

As a club, as players we all done great job, because of that all of our
teams had reached to the knock out stage.
|
|
Winning the B Grade premiership is an obvious positive. But the
camaraderie built throughout the season was a major highlight despite
the on-field success
|
|
B grade flag, obviously.

Winning a flag, camaraderie between the teams

Losing coach halfway through the season
|
|
Losing Semi Final Off Field incidents Coach Leaving A Grade batting
collapses
|
|
Not at all.
|
|
Probably a few unfortunate off-field incidents which bring down the
reputation of the entire club.
|
|
Injuries, disappointed my performance wasn’t good enough to keep my
place in the side.
|
|
Off-field issues sometimes got in the way on field
|

A bloke bottleing someone

Loss of coach

Not really anything other then the glass incident

How could we improve training?

|
Responses
|
|
more structure - Tyson struggles having to organise everything.
Potentially if there isnt a coach we could delegate certain nights to
senior players and it is up to them to organise, set up and run the
specific session.
|
|
More turnout/participation
|
|
Head coach if possible
|
|
Numbers
|
|
Trainings were well run
|
|
Game day scenarios Centre wicket practice occasionally Include U17s
|
|
I’m fine with current arrangements.
|
|
I feel like the As and Bs are on a good thing with trainings. Likely
needs a bit of work to incorporate the C graders a bit more. It never
sat right with me bailing on C graders to go and field while they were
still batting.
|
|
NA
|
|
More people attending regularly
|
|
Use of bowling machine please
|
|
I think we have the ideas in place, just need more follow through and if
no coach is taken a group of players to take responsibility for
training.
|
|
It’s really well set out just more consistent numbers would be gold
|
|
dunno
|
|
Everyone turning up before 6pm
|
|
More set structure to trainings

All team bowlers to be mixed in the nets without A team bowlers only
bowls in one net and b team on one net.

Finding ways to get more people to attend

|
Hold them more often
|
|
Electronic if possible
|
|
Hard to do with people having personal events and the club booking out
the club most saturdays. I think maybe downstairs being used. And when
we do have the club best players and vouchers being given for them needs
to be done.
|
|
Don’t think there is much to improve on
|
|
dunno
|
|
Have players there to do it

a system put in place to encourage helping.
